Taylor’s family filed a lawsuit against the Louisville Metro Police Department accusing three officers of wrongful death, excessive force and gross negligence.
Louisville Metro Police Department officials said officers engaged in the shooting after Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, shot at them first.
But the lawsuit alleges that police did not identify themselves and that Walker, a licensed gun owner, thought someone was breaking in. Neither Walker nor Taylor had a criminal history of drugs or violence, the suit says.
Taylor had been working on the front lines during the coronavirus pandemic as an EMT at emergency rooms at two hospitals, her family said.
“Breonna loves life and she loved to help people and she loved her family. She didn’t deserve what they did to her,” Tamika Palmer, her mother, told CBS News correspondent Jericka Duncan.
